This should be a fairly straight forward question. I'm currently running
a TCP/IP network where the IP addresses of the hosts and clients will
be changing several times in the next month or so. (Yes, we're moving
sites...) :) Anyhow, what I want to do it set up /etc/ethers, or
some such, and have the client machine query for its IP address based
on the ethernet address. Is this pssible, and if so, couldn't someone
let me know how to set it up? Thankx
